Question

I need help with letter C from question 3.

### Consider the following reaction:

\[ 2 \text{NOCl(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2 \text{NO(g)} + \text{Cl}_2\text{(g)} \]  
at \( T = 450 \, \text{K} \)  
\( \Delta H^\circ_{\text{rxn}} = + 75 \, \text{kJ/mol} \)  

A system initially contains NOCl, NO, and Cl₂, and is at equilibrium. For each of the following changes, indicate (by circling your answer) whether the number of moles of Cl₂ in the system will increase, stay the same, or decrease.

a) **Add 0.100 moles of NOCl(g) to the system**  
- Moles of Cl₂ will increase (circled)
- Moles of Cl₂ will not change
- Moles of Cl₂ will decrease

b) **Decrease the volume by 1.00 L**  
- Moles of Cl₂ will increase
- Moles of Cl₂ will not change
- Moles of Cl₂ will decrease (circled)

c) **Increase the temperature to \( T = 500 \, \text{K} \)**  
- Moles of Cl₂ will increase
- Moles of Cl₂ will not change
- Moles of Cl₂ will decrease

Expert Solution
Step 1: Le chatalier's principle

Answer:

Le Chatalier's principle states that on changing any parameter of the system in equilibrium, it will shift in the direction where effect of that change can get eliminated.
